I was challenged to mod a ITP A1 to XM-L , initially I resisted as the difficulty factor was above Normal , but then reconsidered as I thought it might be time to rise to a new level ...
To say it was interesting , is a understatement ...
Lets try some pictures
Here is the XM-L U2 on a 10mm board mounted in the pill ..
It lives ...
Emitter is ever so slightly off center

Low mode
Medium mode
High mode
The beam is soooo smoooth , so floody , by no means a thrower , but it just pumps light , and from such a small package .
Well , dont be-leave the Lumen output , but the light box says :
Low 80L , Med 400L , High 800L but fades to 730 within 10 seconds ..
This is a very small host for a XM-L mod , but on low and medium it just rocks hard , on high its just insane , but sure does help with the bragging rights .
Heat will be a problem on high , and the longer you run it , I would expect continued output sag .
I just hope the owner is happy with his modified ITP .
Very nice mod, Old! The new owner should be quite happy. I agree with HID45 that this driver is overrated, but I can see that for this application it'd work fine. Did you modify it to remove the strobe/sos or are they still present?
Its 5 mode , the very anoying strobe and SOS are still there .. I would just love to see this driver as 3 mode ,
But dont complain about it at KD , or it may vanish ... I like this driver as a replacement for many applications [ emitters ] and have at least one in my spare parts box at any given time .
